After trying your plugin I have to say it's a great addition, and it looks very nice. You've done some good work here. The only thing I would change is when you open the "Server Ranking", to close the "Track Records" (and vice versa). I know it's minor, but people are lazy and it's more convenient than having to click again to close one before opening the other
By the way, very nice confirmation box when saving the settings

Since you integrated the menu so nicely, you might like to know for the next version of GPP I've moved all the log/cfg files to a subdir in the data directory so that it's easier to start with a clean slate.

It would be great that admin could globaly set if all recs are shown in chat or not for all players. Even better would be if you could show only top 100 records for all, the rest just to the player as PB.

I was deleting some maps from my server and it made me wonder: are the records purged from the database when the associated map is removed from the playlist? Maybe the info could be retained in case the map is later added back in the playlist, but just not included in the calculation of local scores/ranks? And speaking of ranks, how exactly is this calculated? I read your previous answer to this question (1st place=100pts,...100th place=1pt) but this doesn't make sense since I currently have 372 points on my server

And by the way, no need to strip characters from nicks, just add htmlspecialchars() to the nickname in the xml string.. it really does wonders to avoid crashing manialinks ^^

thx for the tip...
if you delete a map, the records are still there, and the track is still part of the calculation....but it gets recalculated only at end of the race so until the map is not played the points for this track are kinda feezed... now you could boost your points by deleting the recordfile for a track, on next play you would get fresh points for the track with the deleted record

and here is your sense if there are only 10 records on a track the 1. will get only 10 points
and if there are 38 records the 1. will get 38 points and so on... i can't remember anymore if there is a minimum record ammount for a track to start counting (like no scores before there are 5 records on the track) or did i just planed to do so btw. with the latest update u can check your score and rank diffs
i think after a few updates we should be able to choose between at least overall ranking and ranking by current tracklist
